Mae (Hall) Gilkison writes in a letter of 16 Sep 95, "My husband's mother, Grace Cassity Gilkison, age 93, is a daughter to the Peter Cassity Sr. that married Mahala Jane Hall, sister to my grandfather (and your great-grandfather) George W. Hall. After Mahala Jane died, which they had several children, one that I knew personally - Mathew Cassity, my mother-in-laws 1/2 brother - Peter Cassity Sr. married Lula Roberts, my mother-in-laws mother. They had 10 or 12 children, most of them I knew or know as some are still living, as my mother-in-law is. Also, my mother-in-law had a sister, Martha Cassity Markwell, whose son Mason married one of Perry Hall's daughters, Pauline."

None of Peter's marriages is recorded in Rowan County.

His death certificate (Vol. 18, #08740 ) records Peter Casidy, age 63, born 18 April 1851 in Morgan Co., died 25 Mar 1913 in Rowan Co., parents unknown, cause of death pneumonia fever, informant Orlando Scaggs, Wagner, Ky, burial in Scaggs cemetery.

His gravestone says Rev. Peter Haze Cassity, 1850-1913. It is a single stone, and there is no other Cassity buried in the cemetery. See also notes for Peter Cassity Jr.

Rowan Co. birth records, on LDS microfilm #216839, list Mahala J. Hall b. 2 Jan 1856 to "George Hall & Elizabeth Riddle", place of birth Licking. The entry above is for John W. Hall, b. July 12, 1856, son of "Alfred Hall & Susan Downing". Apparently the clerk transposed the names of the mothers when copying these two lines. (The book is not a day-by-day register, but a copy made at the beginning of one year of the reports submitted by physicians and midwives of the births they had assisted at during the preceding year.)

The dates may be switched, too. Morgan Co. birth records, on LDS microfilm #216835, record birth of an unnamed daughter to George Hall and Susan Downing on 20 July 1856.

"Past Images of Rowan County"22 lists Mahala Hall the daughter of George Martin Hall as marrying Peter Cassidy Sr.

Mahala died fairly young, but I don't know the date. No earlier than 1884, since her son Matthew was born then, and apparently by 1888, as Peter and Laura's daughter Lydia listed her age as 22 when she married in Dec 1909.
